Chicago, September 12th-There
are hints that the ADMINISTRATORS
Fisheries Commission scheme may
fall through entirely. One reason
is the trouble in finding men who
will 60 on the commissions; another
is the probability that before the
commission got fairly under way it
would be met with a resolution from
the Senate denouncing the whole
business. In view of the bold de-

commission into which the British
Minister had drawn Messrs. Cleve-

all said to be distinguished. The
matter of pay probably had nothing
to do with their refusal to serve, as
there are enough contingent funds
out of which the Secretary of State
could squeeze their allowance. But
after the negotiations were made
known IN the British Parliament,
the miserable shutting Of Mr.. Bay
ard showed that the most distin-
guished Americans would be better
thought of by their countrymen if
they slaid off the commission.
Knowing the objections to the CON-
missioners, the State Department
tried to make out that there was to
be no commission, but only "nego-
tiations' by the President. This
sort of evasion disguised even The
partisans of the administration, and
neither BPyard nor Cleveland will
have much sympathy for the humili-
alton that their fisheries policy pro-
misses to result in.
